Question

I'm really worried about my aunt who was recently admitted to a top hospital in Mumbai because she's been having trouble breathing. They've done an ECG and a lung X-ray, and both came back normal. Her blood pressure is also fine, but the doctors still cant figure out what's causing her breathlessness. Do you have any ideas on what could be going on or what steps we should take next?

Question

I'm usually okay, but I'm experiencing some chest congestion. After walking just a few steps, my breathing rate goes up quickly. It gets worse in cold weather or during the evening, and I find it difficult to catch my breath. What could be causing this?

Question

I'm trying to make sense of a chest ultrasound report and figure out if a pleural effusion should be drained. Is there any way to tell how much fluid is too much, or any specific measurements I should be looking for? I'm really unsure about what indicates a need for drainage.

Question

I'm really worried about this dry cough and breathing trouble I've been having for about a month. It's more noticeable at night or in the morning and worsens when there's smoke, like from an agarbatti. I get some relief with Divya Swasari cough syrup, but it doesn't seem to completely go away even though I'm on antibiotics from my physician. Could you help me figure out what's going on or suggest what else I might try to finally get better?
